I'm The attacker my opponent uses Doomed Intentions, I react w/ Cut them Off.... what will happen?
http://rules.l5r.com/Glossary_A#Additional: "Whenever an effect grants an additional action while another action of the same designator is in progress, the timing of the additional action is delayed until after the current action resolves."
http://rules.l5r.com/Timing: Delayed effects precede reactions.
So the sequence is:
1. Resolve both immediate effects of Doomed Intentions.
2. Additional Battle action from Doomed Intentions.
3. React with Cut Them Off.
(Fixed.)
